Yankees starter Luis Severino is entering a contract year and showed up to spring training looking like it.
TAMPA — Luis Severino is entering a contract year and showed up to spring training looking like it.
“Hopefully everything’s lining up for him to have a really great year for us, because we’re certainly counting on it,” Boone said after a workout at George M. Steinbrenner Field., which comes at the end of a four-year, $40 million extension that he signed after the 2018 campaign. The right-hander only made 22 starts over the subsequent four seasons because of multiple injuries, but pitched to a 2.85 ERA when healthy.
“He’s one of those guys, along with Carlos [Rodon] and Gerrit [Cole], that you never really want to put a ceiling on what they’re capable of doing,” Boone said. “Because it’s capable of being the best at what they do. That’s where Sevy is in his career.” That injury history forced the Yankees to keep Severino out of the World Baseball Classic this spring. It will be revisited again whenever a new contract is broached.
